from the publisher Dentistry North Texas Publisher | LuLu Stavinoha Photographer | Ray Bryant, Bryant Studios Contributing Writers | Jeremy Brown, LaDawn Brock, Tina Cauller, Marc Fowler, Marc Whitehead Another year is in the books and I must say it was a good one for the team of North Texas Dentistry. We had lots of wonder- ful experiences meeting new people and de- veloping relationships within the North Texas dental community. Thanks to all who helped to make 2017 a year to remember! We are pleased to present Dr. Le O’Leary’s practice, Advanced Microendodontics, as this issue’s cover story. About 10 years ago, we featured Dr. O’Leary when she was one of the first endodontists to add CBCT tech- nology to her clinical armamentarium. She is once again on the cutting edge, as the first endodontist in North Texas to add the GentleWave System to her practice. The GentleWave System has shown some im- pressive results in clinical studies com- pared to traditional RCT. 2018 promises to be another exciting year. Coming this spring, Special Issue 2018, The State of Dentistry, Dental Trends in the Great State of Texas, will be the perfect opportunity to promote your practice or business in North Texas Dentistry. Find additional information about the Special Issue on the inside back cover and make plans now to participate! North Texas Dentistry’s amazing pho- tographer, Ray Bryant, captured some of the fun from the Southwest Dental Confer- ence. Check out the photos and contact Ray if you need high quality photography for your practice or family. A variety of editorial topics complete the issue. Insurance Update examines disabil- ity claims; Practice Transitions highlights strategies for getting top dollar for your practice; and Practice Marketing discusses the importance of screening patients for sleep apnea.
